Abstract

An electromagnetic fuel saving device for internal combustion engines. The device includes two electromagnetic assemblies and two connectors. Each electromagnetic assembly includes a coil, a spool, an insulating tape, a casing, a core, two studs, and two terminals. The coil is wound around the spool and is covered by the insulating tape. The casing encloses the coil, the spool, and the insulating tape. The core is pivotally mounted within the spool cylinder and extends on either side of the spool. A stud is connected to each end portion of the core. The terminals are connected to the coil and are adapted to be used to operatively connect the coil to a battery. Two electromagnetic assemblies are installed on a fuel line in opposing relationship by aligning them so that they contact the periphery of the fuel line, by connecting them with the two connectors, and by operatively connecting them in parallel to a 12 volt direct current circuit. When so installed, there is a gap between the opposing studs. This gap gives a complete, unbroken pinpoint magnetic flux field through the fuel as it flows through the fuel line. This device results in fuel efficiency of from 15% to 30%.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim as my invention: 
     
       1. An electromagnetic fuel saving device for an internal combustion engine comprising an electromagnetic assembly which includes a coil, a spool, a coil winding insulating tape, a casing, a core, two studs, and two terminals; the coil is wound around the cylinder of the spool and within its rims; the insulating tape covers the coil; the casing encloses the coil, the insulating tape, and the spool; the casing has a concave end portion; the core is pivotally mounted within the spool cylinder, has two spaced holes located in its end portions, and extends on either side of the spool a distance slightly greater than the width of the stud; the stud has a reduced end portion and a concave end portion and its reduced end portion fits within the hole of the core; the casing is formed so that its concave end portion extends slightly beyond the concave end portion of the stud; and the terminals are connected to the coil and are adapted to be used to operatively connect the coil to a battery. 
     
     
       2. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 1, wherein the concave end portion of the casing includes a curved surface and two flat surfaces, one on either side of the curved surface and the curved surface has a diameter which will accomodate a fuel line. 
     
     
       3. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 2, wherein the concave end portion of the stud includes a curved surface located between two flat surfaces and the diameter of the curved surface will vary with the size of a fuel line to be accomodated. 
     
     
       4. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 3, wherein the coil is a specially wound coil of standard magnet wire with a predetermined number of turns and the spool is a coil winding insulator spool. 
     
     
       5. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 3 in combination with an identical electromagnetic assembly and connecting means, wherein the assemblies are mounted in facing relationship on a fuel line and secured to the fuel line by the connecting means. 
     
     
       6. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 5, wherein the connecting means are Ty-Raps. 
     
     
       7. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 4 in combination with an identical electromagnetic assembly and connecting means, wherein the assemblies are mounted in facing relationship on a fuel line and are secured to the fuel line by the connecting means. 
     
     
       8. The electromagnetic fuel saving device of claim 7, wherein the connecting means are plastic straps.
